Throwaway account cause I’m embarrassed. Basically a few days ago I randomly woke up with a hemorrhoid after a couple of days of sudden itching in that area. I thought it’ll pass on its own but it hasn’t. I tried some home remedies I found online like sitz baths but nothing has worked. It’s very uncomfortable and I’m fairly sure I need to see a doctor / get some proper medicine. But I can’t bring myself to tell my parents cause it’s so embarrassing I cringe just thinking about it.

    Hemorrhoid are super common, like 50% of people will get them eventually. It’s nothing to be embarrassed about.

    I guess you can continue waiting, but I bet eventually the pain will beat out the embarrassment. Why not shorten the ordeal?
